Villa Scarzella is located at the base of the Castle of Millesimo surrounded by a lush garden. This impressing residence was built by the Turinese entrepreneur Giuseppe Scarzella in 1855 who, four years before bought the ruins of the Castle and the adjacent plot to use it as a summer house. The villa was later enlarged by his son Alberto who was mayor of Millesimo from 1888 to 1913.

It was purchased by the Municipal Administration in 1989 to host the location of the Napoleonic Museum and the Visitor Center of the Regional Natural Park named “Bric Tana and the Three Kings’ Valley (Bric Tana e Valle dei Tre Re).
